Dear Suzie,

GERD is wildly over-diagnosed. Also, camel milk, like most other  
large animal milk has too much phosphorous and may trigger  
hypocalcemic seizures.  It is also low in iron, Vitamin C and may be  
low in folic acid.  What are the baby''s symptoms? If the problem is  
crying, has she used The Happiest Baby on the Block DVD, swaddling  
and Soothing Sounds white noise CD?

Cheers,

Harvey
